I'm convinced we will never play finals ever again. Adelaide is not playing well. We are playing [censored].

We are in 2nd gear.

Jones is getting an absolute pasting.

Where would be if not not oliver? He is MADE for finals. Carrying us atm.

The fumbling is pathetic. Crows playing for a finals spot. Once again we are choking. This has been a disastrous start.

Been under pressure A LOT.

We're gifting them entries with poor tackles and clangers. If we can clean out disposal and find some space we should take care of them imo.

Hogan is shaping up to be Clive Waterhouse 2.0

Jones is cooked.

Crows were always going to come out hard.

Deers in headlights atm.

Cats are average and we should have by 7 goals for ffs.

I think we'll start slow but then thump them tbh.

I'd love to win tonight to both strengthen our chances, and also significantly dent a "resurging" Adelaide's chances. Sydney is absolutely gifting us a home final, if we'd beaten St Kilda and Geelong like we should have we'd be a lock for at least 6th. The problem with Adelaide, Sydney and WC is their tall forwards. I'd much rather be playing Richmond, Collingwood and Port again in these final 5 weeks because we match up better with them with both Hibberd and Lever out, and I'd fancy our chances more against them than the aforementioned. Given our outs, we are coming up against the worst possible teams. Just our luck.

Nothing wrong with what he said. Roos the following year did see some improvement but our last 10 games were as bad as anything under Neeld. We had a poor list and bad office, with Mr Whiteboard Wednesday running the show it was always going to be a challenge. he also landed us Hogan.

Collingwood: Consistently smashes poor sides, loses to top sides, "respectable losses" Melbourne: the same, except replace respectable with disappointing or disastrous.

Helped make 2014 that little bit less horrid. Had some real blinders and probably won us the game vs Adelaide.

Of course mate, but I am a skeptical one because I believe the next step in our development is playing finals. We're at that stage now and will fall behind if we don't get that experience.

The same way we beat them without Gawn and Hogan last time.

Must've been from running around chasing Jarman.

See I am the opposite the other way. After our North loss I was convinced we wouldn't make it. This year I feel it would be a huge choke if we missed. We are top 4 caliber.

We would be the best team ever to miss finals if we choked from here. A little from column A and a little from column B.

True but it wasn't injuries why we missed last year.

5 games remaining. Same position as last year. 10 wins. 7th. Jones has played 2 finals in 12 seasons. Captain. Now is time for him to go above and beyond. Take the club on your shoulders. It's not about him leading us to upset victories anymore. He needs to lead us to finals. Or forever be branded a loyal loser. Harsh reality.

We were coming from quite far back, but then, so were the Bulldogs who were tipped to finish last by many in 2015 before making finals. IMO we are a year behind where we should be because we should have finals experience in the bag.
